Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer

In June 2025, Kramer Levin merged with Herbert Smith Freehills to form Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, whose executive compensation and employee benefits practice advises on a broad spectrum of compensation and benefits matters, including related plan design, management, and compliance, with a particular focus on domestic and cross-border corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings. The practice is co-led by Marissa Holob and Robert Holtzman, both based in the firm’s New York office. Holob manages employee benefits and executive compensation aspects of corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings, while Holzman is noted as a key contact for employers needing counsel on employment law and executive compensation matters. Sumaya Ullah Restagno in New York is also a key member of the team.
